This could have been the ultimate dysfunctional family sitcom, considering Dad (J.K. Simmons) is blind, Mom (Jenna Elfman) acts more like a teenager than her daughter and the two parents have decided to get a divorce. However, with all their problems, the likable Fisher clan functions better than many traditional TV families. The comedy is told from the perspective of 11-year-old Henry (Eli Baker), but the comic standout is Simmons as the patriarch who refuses to let his lack of sight get in the way of any plan — including teaching his daughter to parallel park.

8 p.m. Sunday, PBS

What a difference a year makes! The shock and death of last season's finale is replaced by cheery smiles all around. A scandal is averted, brighter outlooks are promised, and great fun is had by just about everyone in this elongated season ender. Also, Shirley MacLaine, as Countess Cora's brutally frank American mom, is back in all her flamboyant glory. She brings her grump of a playboy son (Paul Giamatti) with her to attend Rose's coming-out ball.
